Israeli officials said one of the reasons for Amar's visit was to get to know the new officials in the Israeli government in person, as well as to hear about the new government's policy regarding the situation in Gaza and the West Bank. His previous visit to the region in May, before the establishment of the new government, Omar met with Yair Lapid when he was still chairman of the opposition.

One of the main issues they will discuss his talks in Israel is Omar rehabilitation process of the Gaza Strip and the new mechanism to transfer money to Gaza through the United Nations Qatari, and In cash suitcases to Hamas. The United States is involved in efforts to formulate the new mechanism.

Israeli officials estimate that during his talks, Amar will raise the issue of the demolition of Palestinian homes in the West Bank. The US embassy announced after the demolition of the house that "a house where an entire family lives should not be demolished because of the actions of one person."

U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken raised the issue of demolishing Palestinian homes in general in a conversation with a senior Israeli official.

"The temperature in the West Bank needs to be lowered," Price said.

"Punitive measures such as house demolitions increase tensions at a time when everyone needs to act to maintain calm."

One of the main issues that Omar is expected to raise in his talks in Ramallah is the internal political crisis in the Palestinian Authority following the death of political activist Nizar Banat.

In recent weeks, there have been unusual demonstrations in several West Bank cities against the Palestinian Authority.

The demonstrators called on Abu Mazen to resign and PA security forces suppressed the demonstrations by force.

The Biden administration has criticized the conduct of the Palestinian Authority and its security forces both in public and in private talks with senior Palestinian officials.

U.S. diplomats have made it clear to senior PA officials that they expect them to conduct a comprehensive and transparent investigation, and have pressured them to begin reforming security apparatus and to refrain from anti-democratic measures.
